It's not always about the video cards. I have a VERY good PC (see sig) and I have tried a Nvidia 6600GT and an ATI 1600XT. Neither will give me perfect video like overlay will. Using 3d accel is good mind you, but when a ticker comes on the screen, then I see the twitches. I have given up on 3d accel and am happy with overlay.

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Very nice indeed!

Would be even nicer to see a dedicated 4:3 version!

Re: [skin] BTV Vista
I was contemplating upgrading my 1300XL to something more powerful to get 3d however you probably just changed my mind.

Re: [skin] BTV Vista
I'm having truble obtaining the full effect of the skin on vista. The apha channels don't seem to work and some of the icons seem cropped incorrectly. I realize that I need to enable 3d acceleration, but I can't quite figure out how. The way I perceive it is that 3d acceleration will enable much more appealing visuals, yet I can not figure any way to enable or disable it, or even tell if it's on. I am using a wide screen moniter so that shouldn't be problematic. The skin looks great as is, but the screens look much better. Any help is [FONT='Calibri','sans-serif']appreciated.[/FONT]

Re: [skin] BTV Vista
Settings --> Playback -> Video Renderer

This will get you to 3d accel.

(I still prefer overlay)
